BEST EVER Tom Kha Gai | Thai Chicken Coconut Soup

OPEN for ingredients! Tom Kha Gai (tom ka kai/tom ka gai/ต้มข่าไก่) is a Thai chicken coconut soup. This is considered one of the more popular soups in Thailand, second only to Tom Yum. Unlike Tom Yum, which is a spicy, sour soup, Tom Kha Gai is a much milder, and creamier soup. Much like Tom Yum, Tom Kha Gai is served as a dish with rice, as opposed to being eaten by itself like a soup.

This is my idea of heaven. I could eat this soup the rest of my life and nothing else. Great version of this classic. I always leave the galangal and lemon grass in the soup when I serve it, but that's a great tip, boiling the aromatics first then skimming them out. Westerners often don't realize you don't actually eat those. Also I leave out all chilis since nobody but me likes it searing hot spicy, and I can always add chilis to my portion.

If I don’t have a Coconut Milk, what can I substitute with. Thank you and God bless.

Fresh chicken is so hard to find right now. Can I use duck instead?

[@ancocephala2447]

I’m sure duck would just make it extra luxurious!
